The Sackners saw this exhibition that consisted of mostly unusually designed art catalogues. Further, it was their first discovery of the utilization of glass green houses as an economical means to display large quantities of books and objects. This installation was used in an exhibition in 2000 at the same museum "170 Jahre." The Sackners also used a modification of this installation in their exhibition, "The Beauty in Breathing" (1992) in Miami Beach.
